DigDeep’s first U.S.-based project, the Navajo Water Project, has brought hot-and-cold running water and solar power to more than 500 off-grid homes on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona for the first time. On the Navajo Nation more than 30% of homes have no running water or basic plumbing and community members must travel long distances to haul a few gallons of water from contaminated water sources.

On the Navajo Nation, DigDeep employs its proven and replicable model that incorporates developing wells to pump, treat, and locally store clean water. The model also allows us to install Home Water Systems that provide hot and cold running water and solar power. Each system features an underground 1,200-gallon water cistern, a pump, a filter, a heater, a sink and a drain. The systems are filled by truck from a series of wells constructed and operated by local partners. During the Covid pandemic, DigDeep continued to serve thousands across the Navajo Nation, ensuring that they had access to clean, reliable water.

In 2023, DigDeep’s Navajo Water Project aims to install 230 new Home Water Systems across the Navajo Nation and will continue to deepen our relationships within these communities by expanding our services to support waterline connections to an additional 75 homes. We also plan to purchase ninety (90) 275-gallon water tanks for families who have Home Water Systems and wish to haul water on their own. In addition, 2023 will see the continued expansion of our septic pilot program through which we aim to complete 41 full septic system installations and clean 135 existing septic systems to bring them back to working order.
